The Panzer Corps [official site] are showing their age. You can see it in the rust that is accumulating around their joints and hear it in the strained rumble of their engines. Even the hexes look a little worn around the edges these days. It's no surprise really - the old stalwart has seen a lot of action. Five years in the field. Five years…

Listen up, youse grots! Fings are gonna get orky round 'ere and if you fink dat- 'scuse me. HRRRK. HNNGGRRK. Ahem. Sorry. Little bit snotty in the throat. What I was trying to say is that Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon - Da Orks [official site] is now out. It's a standalone follow-up to 40k: Armageddon, a seriously hexy turn-based strategy game recreating a great war from…

If I'm not careful, I'm going to end up actually going into a Games Workshop and spending all of my Christmas shopping money on a pile of codices. I always liked the books more than the figures, truth be told, and as I was playing through the…

Games Workshop have been a bit weird with their licensing since the fall of THQ and the end of Relic's glorious Warhammer 40,000 games, greenlighting an unexpected variety of games. Sure, this has lead to humdrum oddities like WH40K: Storm of Vengeance, but I can't imagine they'd have given 40K: Armageddon the go-ahead before either. It's a serious-looking turn-based strategy game by the folks behind…
